Y’all are dumb, nothing wrong with the radio and tv call of Altuve’s hr 

[Halohal 498]

"Boston night .." meh. Room for improvement

speaking, the post game radio show (and this thread) sucks when the Astros win. Especially when they win big 

[Scraps 13561]

I mean i think we can all see Albury's excuse, but bear claw doesn't look blind, or drunk, or asleep

[kevwun 15788]

I would bet Vic didn't enter the game with a lead.  That's what really sets Cora's bullshit apart.

I hope when Cora gave him the game ball for saving the bullpen for the rest of the series barraclough fired it right back at his face….

 

Of course, he would have missed and nailed someone else, but I hope he still did it

i would assume he'd have to give him the ball in pawtucket or worcester or wherever they sent him back to directly after the game.

clown.  let's dash their slim playoff hopes tonight and tomorrow.

[kevwun 15788]

I have pretty much never felt bad for an opposing pitcher until last night.  That shit was wrong.  The dude hit Bregman twice and the Astros didn't even get mad.

[UTPhil2006 3807]

@tx 3 putt I know you listen to Dusty on 790 what did he have to say

I had to take a call, missed most of it. All I heard was he’s not penciling n brantley until he talks with him today

@Scraps’ phone call could have waited 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Dusty hasn’t talked to Brantley’s dad yet.

[Scraps 13561]

[mention=228]Scraps[/mention]’ phone call could have waited 

I have one million better things to do than call him and chit chat

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Brantley activated, Julks optioned, Jake Cousins DFA.
we just didn’t need another Jake.

[UTPhil2006 3807]

Julks down, Cousins DFA 

[UTexasFight 9450]

Whoa:

57 hits the last 3 games. That is the most hits the Astros have ever had across a three-day period. The previous record of 51 hits was reached 3 times in 1976, 2017, and 2019. 

[runthebone 7982]

So is Julks even going to leave Boston, or...?

[UTPhil2006 3807]

Let him hang a couple days in Houston.  Also one of the two spots is for sure going to a pitcher. Who’s to say Salazar isn’t more valuable as a third catcher than Julks as the 6th OF 

[Scraps 13561]

Please just stay healthy.

Not holding my breath on that one

yeah, would be a bummer for mike to tweak something and ruin this crazy run he's on.

[UTexasFight 9450]

Still no lineup.

Dusty must be having a looong conversation with Mike.

[tx 3 putt 76958]

[UTPhil2006 3807]

Dubey over Chas. Dusty just can’t leave well enough alone 

[kevwun 15788]

You know he's fucking Chas if it's possible.

Must see TV... Let's go Astros!

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

 

Almost had the best lineup. Just had to thrown one curve ball. 

[APMP 688]

If Uncle Mike is serviceable, our A1 lineup (where Chas comes in for Dubon) is good enough to beat anyone. The lineup ORDER, of course will never be perfect for everyone here...

if maldonado is not in it i could give two fucks about the order.

[Dutchrudder 11139]

Yeah, that's a pretty salty lineup. Swap Chas for Dubon though, he should be the full time CF. I wonder if other execs around the league look at this situation and think they could trade for Chas on the cheap this offseason, since the club doesn't seem to have faith in him. 

I'm surprised they have Brantley in Left instead of Yordan. I figured Mike would come back and DH a few games before getting out in the field. I'll be interested to see how he does, hopefully he's the missing piece this team needed to get over the top!

[Hank Chinaski 6315]

Chas has 3.6 fWAR in 90 games. So basically he’s having a 5-6 win season. For reference, Kyle Tucker has never had a 5 fWAR season. But sure, let’s rest him when we’re in the thick of a playoff race. We’ve had no urgency all season long, why start now?

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

[kevwun 15788]

Good job Angels.  So we have the last shot at everyone right?

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Roster dump !

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Anyone worth grabbing? 

[kevwun 15788]

I like that.  Go spend some money Crane.  I'd take a shot at Giolito, he's better than Javier right now if nothing else.

We can block all the potential AL playoff contenders except Minn and Toronto. Will be interesting to see how far any of them fall

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Rangers need arms 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

All the Dusty haters just didn't realize the plan was to have waiver priority over the Rangers and Mariners when this happened. Y'all some checkers playing motherfuckers. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Matt Moore is a LHRP with 2.70 ERA. 
Giolito obviously has been talked about. Grichuk local guy that was mentioned earlier as possible trade subject. 
I have no idea what go into teams thoughts on making a claim but on straight place in the pecking order I’d be surprised if they to the bottom of the order except they are free agents at the end of the year and the roster implications to make room for them. We have plenty of dead weight to cut loose on our 40 man for sure. Guys we are going to cut in a couple months anyway.

[APMP 688]

Good grief. When did buttchin start running the Angels? That's the only explanation...

[UTPhil2006 3807]

So if you take someone do you go to the back of the line?
